We set out the day not knowing how many miles or elevation gain was in front of us. 3 of us did our homework but couldn't agree. So the guess was at least 21 miles, no more than 28. At least 6000 ft of climb, no more than 8,100. 11.5 hours later, the numbers, 8,050 ft of climb, 26.5 miles and 2 hours of night hiking. A perfect day, perfect car shuttle, perfect grueling hike, a some what twisted (I say that in a nice way) group of people for following me. Great job Eric, Steve, Trena, Mara, Aaron, Maria, Rachel, Kevin, Lisa, and Myra.
